Rnil Road Meetings.

Meetings are now being held along
the proposed line of the Dayton, Eaton
and Liberty railway enterprise under
Roadway, for the purpose of finding out
the feeling of the people along the line
in favor of it's completion. townsville
and West Alexandria each held large
and enthusiastic gatherings last week,
and appointed committees to canvass
for the right of way and subscriptions.
Committees are to report in ten days,
and we hope to hear a good one from
sold Twin" and all along the eastern
line.
Pursuant to a call the citizens of Ea-
ton assembled in the Opera House on
Tuesday evening last and organized by
selecting Judge R. w. Quinn as Presi-
dent of the meeting, who on taking the
Chair introduced to the assembly Col.
Geo. Pride, general manager of the
contemplated road. Col. Pride exhibit
ted a map of the connections that the
Dayton, Eaton and Liberty railway
enterprise would make and plainly
showed the great advantag es the con
struction of it would be to Eaton and
the farming community along the line,
stating also that when finished it would
be owned by the stock holders between
Dayton and Liberty, and not by the C.
II. & D., as is supposed, and would be
known as the dayton, Eaton and Lib
erty' road. There is nothing in the
world to prevent the stock on this line
from becoming valuable and paying a
good per cent. from the very start OF
the road.
After Col. Pride closed his remarks
a committee was appointed t O canvass
the territory between the Twin Town.

of way and subscriptions, which com

sharp up turn on everything that was at all
useful, some statesmen, and buyers, too for
that matter, declaring that values were 50(0

to-day. The grade on which there Is the
greatest advance is the so-called undesirable
stock of 1850 to 1900 lb averages or there
abOuts. Then again the yet common sorts
sold fully Soc higher than week ago to-day,
in fact, the advance named does not cover the
appreciation in all cases. There was fair
run Of Texas steers, and such cows as would
suit the city butcher trade sold considerably
higher but old cows, bulls and common can
ming stock underwent little change. Native
butchers stock came in for its share of the
advance in natives. The stOcker and feeder
trade presented no new features Shipping

wore away trade became slow and the gen.
eral market closed rather weak, with large
number unsold. The Rock Island division
was the weak and low-priced part of the
yards to-day, as the run there was heavy and
some 10000 were carried over in that divi-
sion last night. The big packing firms did not

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec 22.-[Spccial Telegram to the
BEE. Very little excitement can be obtained
from q range Of prices Of Nc and it was all
wheat traders had TO work upon during all
but about quarter of an hour of this morn
ing's session. Even the slight spasm of &C
tivity at the close failed to extend this range
more than NC. The process Of "evening up,"
preparatory to the three days vacation, was
probably begun to some extent but the local
element Is bearish. II expects slump about
holiday time and is prepared to take advant-
age OF II II II comes, consequently local trad
ers were sellers this morning. There was
also some moderate selling for New York ac-
count early. The exporting houses were
buying wheat. Country spectators were
not believed to be doing much. May wheat
opened at Sal4c, which was where it closed
last night and for some time the trading was
between that price and S41sc. Then followed
On advance to S4Spc and fluctuations were be-
tween that price and "a NC until fifteen min
utes OF the close, when there was an advance
to S413c, which was touched twice, but there
were very few transactions at that price, the
closing at o'clock being at s4sSC9s4l1c.
January wheat opened nominally at 171sc,
sold at n and 77asc, and closed at the latter
price at o'clock.
There was a somewhat wider range in the
corn market than i'll wheat, but even there
the extreme fluctuation was &c. Trading
was largely local, but foreigners were
represented there, and there was consider
able buying for their accounts May corn
opened at 541s@54Llc. There appeared to be
concerted attempt on the part of two or
three locOl bears TO break prices and the first
movement was downward, carrying May to
53a4M53Lc, when there was q reaction and
the market hung about 5401541sc for some
time Later q raid carried it down to 533<c,
but recovery followed before the o'clock
close, which was at SAC.
The speculative oats market was the dullest
for weeks and was featureless. The only
trading was for May delivery and that at
only two prices-3394 033Tc and 1910, the
first being the opening and the latter the
closing price. January oats were nominally
3O9Ic.
In provisions the feeling was easier.
